Mombasa
Mombasa’s Heart Beats with Spice, Sea, And Smiles—Where Every Sunset Tells a Magical Island Story
Relax on Tropical Beaches With the Warm Breeze of The Indian Ocean
Mombasa is Kenya’s coastal heartbeat—a city where ancient history meets turquoise waters and palm-lined beaches. Explore centuries-old Swahili architecture in Old Town, dive into vibrant coral reefs, or unwind on Diani’s soft sands. From flavourful seafood to warm, welcoming locals, Mombasa offers a rich cultural experience and seaside serenity that mesmerises the soul and stirs the senses.
Best time to visit
The Best Time to visit Mombasa is during the dry seasons—January to March and July to October—when the weather is sunny, warm, and ideal for beach relaxation or coastal exploration. These months offer perfect conditions for snorkelling, diving, and spotting marine life in clear waters.
If you prefer fewer crowds and budget-friendly rates, the shoulder months of June and November are great options. While the rainy seasons (April–May and November) bring lush landscapes, they may limit beach activities. Whatever your timing, Mombasa’s charm and coastal beauty never truly fade.

Our Reviews
Our travellers admire the personalized attention, expert knowledge, and unforgettable experiences that make every journey with Elwama Tours one to behold.
It was my first time travelling to Kenya and going on an African wildlife safari. Elizabeth from Elwama Tours was very responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to communicate with and could answer all the questions I had as a solo traveler. She arranged a two-night safari tour for me in the beautiful Amboseli National Park, including the transportation from Nairobi to the park and back. She was also able to arrange everything to meet my needs, such as travelling by train from Nairobi to Emali instead of by car. Everything was taken care of and went very smoothly thanks to her tips and planning. I strongly recommend working with Elwama Tours for anyone who wishes to travel in Kenya.
Our 5 days holiday in Kenya was just wonderful! We had an amazing safari well organized and planned by Elwama Tours; and our guide Musyoka was absolutely fantastic. During the safari, we saw a wide variety of wildlife including the Big Five and even spotted a leopard in Amboseli, a rarity! Our guide made our experience extra special with knowledgeable insights and tips all done in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend Elwama Tours to anyone who wants to visit Kenya. Their passion and dedication to clients make the adventure even more memorable!
Our private tour guide, Stephen, was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the safari at Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Parks and learned a lot about wildlife and more. Stephen is exceptionally knowledgeable about the parks and animals, along with the history and culture of Kenya and can explain things in a very interesting and engaging way. We felt very well taken of and the planning was impeccable. We highly recommend Stephen and Elwama Tours for Kenya safaris!
